[U-Boot] mcf5445x watchdog support in U-Boot

Hi TsiChung et al,

I was wondering if there are plans to support and utilise the watchdog in the
mcf5445x devices within U-Boot?

I've ported a kernel driver from the bitshrine gpp
(http://www.bitshrine.org/gpp/linux-2.6.25-mcfv4e-watchdog.patch) so that it
hooks into my 54455 hw (Freescale EVB), however I'd like to configure and enable
the watchdog in U-Boot with the intention that once Linux starts, the
responsibility of kicking the watchdog resides with a user space app -> driver.

Thoughts?

Much appreciated.
